Magda Arciszewska but Christ is the source, center and focus of all beauty

[@RomaInvicta202]

I dont want to offend your feelings, but its FAITH that is a source and people's need to express this faith. To me it's of no importance: end result is stunning. And I am sure without faith people wouldnt creat all those things.

[@FunkyCrazyToast]

Magda Arciszewska Creativity does NOT come from faith. That's a very old belief.

Miserere, miserere Господи помилуй меня Ничтожен но жизнь воспеваю Но что за тайна в моей жизни, Что за тайна Тысячелетия лжи и греха Без покаяния И где теперь я? Что я знаю? Как живу я? Живу в безграничной Вселенной Потерянный в бездне нетленной Господи помилуй меня Ничтожен но жизнь воспеваю Я тот святой, что тебя предал Со слезами Из ниоткуда в мир гляжу Под облаками И вижу море, леса и горы, Себя, который…. Живет в безграничной Вселенной Потерянный в бездне нетленной! Господи помилуй меня Ничтожен, но жизнь воспеваю Если лишь найдется ночь слепая Чтобы спрятаться от прошлых дней Если лишь луч надежды засверкает Как солнце взойдет во мне, в бездне, В темноте Ты подари радость жизни мне, Что сокрыта на дне Господи помилуй меня Та радость жизни, которая (может быть) Неведома мне

This song used to LITERALLY be a state secret. The Vatican only allowed this song to be played in the Sistine Chapel, and held this song's composition under lock and key for ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS. Then Mozart listen to it twice, wrote it down from memory, and published it for the rest of the world. Edit: Yes, I got this info from Reddit

[@ChaaiyaChaaiya]

[@leslietolson]

Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam. Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me. Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper. Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris. Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea. Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi. Asperges me hysopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor. Audi tui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata. Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitates meas dele. Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis. Ne proiicias me a facie tua: et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me. Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui: et spiritu principali confirma me. Docebo iniquos vias tuas: et impii ad te convertentur. Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae: et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam. Domine, labia mea aperies: et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam. Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique: holocaustis non delectaberis. Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum, et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies. Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem. Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes, et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

actually think it was the black haired kid next to him who hit that high note. If you re watch you see the blonde kid hit a note and hold it while the high note comes I n later

[@janus3555]

It was the blonde one. He's a mezzo-soprano.

[@robertatkinson7258]

@@janus3555 Correct. He's in another video doing this same song and he has glasses on. However, why does the camera pan away from ever showing him sing the high notes???

[@Sodium779]

This song was written in the 1630s and was performed only in the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican kept the composition of the piece secret for 150 years until the 14-year-old Mozart listened to the piece two times, transcribed it from memory, and produced the first unauthorized copy of the song. (en.wikipedia.org)

[@danderran]

One of the many Mozart myths, like the one about him being buried in a pauper’s grave. But, if it was on Wikipedia, then it must be true!

[@danderran]

This type of choral music is part of Catholic heritage and has its roots in the ancient Gregorian Plainchant renditions of the many psalms which monks and nuns chanted. I suspect few non-Catholics would have shown any interest in this type of music in the 17th and 18th centuries, especially as The Age of Enlightenment unfolded (and some would have actively condemned it). I am glad that more and more non-Catholics are beginning to appreciate this type of music, not just for the singing, but for the actual meaning of the words. Ad maiorem Dei gloriam
